Default UFC 240 Edmonton

Well with the exception of the headliner fight, me thinks the UFC booked the most boring card for 2019 in Edmonton because they know sports fans in Edmonton will sit through anything at Rogers Place as long as they are drunk.
Oh well....

I don’t follow the UFC as close as some people might . I know Max Halloway is one of the top fighters around not really familiar with any of the others. Any idea how ticket sales are for the event.

Well we have been spoiled as of late with some good cards on TV. This one is pay per view but the lineup sure doesn’t warrant it.

Hopefully Tanner Boser does well in his UFC debut. He’s fighting out of Edmonton by way of Bonnyville originally. Well seasoned heavy weight who was M-1 champ fighting in Europe, Kazakhstan and the United Emirates..

It will sell well. The UFC doesn’t come to the city very often...

And Edmonton has more than its fair share of Ed Hardy wearing, wanna be fighter douchbags to attend. If they don't go to event live they will end up in the bars creating havoc.
Im so glad I dont have to work UFC fights anymore.

I thought about taking the kids to watch, but $200 per ticket is 30% of a plane ticket to San Antonio for a winter vacation, so I’ll wait for the highlights to hit the internet instead.

I used to go to schanks to watch the UFC for free.
Now with schanks shutting down I go to Boston pizza for free.
Lots of UFC cards are so bad I don't even go to see them for free.
Lots of times I just go for the title fights.
Looking forward to Cormier Miocic.

Used to go to schanks to see some good UFC cards for free.
With schanks closing I sometimes go late to Boston pizza to see the last two fights for free.
Some cards like edmontons are not worth watching.
Looking forward to Cormier miocic.
